    I seem to recall that the Silkstone was one of few that Wetherspoons decided to sell/ offload in Yorkshire.
    Does anyone know who has taken it ?
    Incidentally, they are just to start a £3m refurb in Wakefield at the Six Chimneys and the pub they’ve bought next door.
    It’s going to be a big unit and seems to undermine that Wetherspoons were selling rather than expanding.

    They are a relatively new company but know little else about their ambitions

    They appear to be an investment company, who have a number of pubs in and around Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire spread across a number of linked companies.

    The thing with Wetherspoons pubs, are that they usually have been converted/fitted out to a high standard. So if they are still doing ok with trade, they can make a decent pub to take on, as a lot of the hard work has been done already. Just got to keep on top of it.

    Think there are another 2 floors above the Silkstone which they own and are empty. Could be turned into something further.
